Video: Take a first look at Top Gear China

It's been talked about for months, and now it's here: Top Gear China recently aired its first episode, joining the original Top Gear UK, Top Gear America, Top Gear Australia and Top Gear Russia. The Chinese spin-off follows the same format as every Top Gear franchise, sporting three energetic hosts, silly challenges and a studio audience made up of attractive girls and trendy-looking dudes.

We have no idea what the hosts are saying, but it looks as if the banter of the original three Top Gear hosts is alive and well in China, and we only hope they fire back off-color jokes about Brits. It would only be fair, after all.

The first episode of Top Gear China includes a comparison test between a Cadillac and a donkey, apparently to see which is better at making corn meal. The idea is hilarious, and from what we can tell, the execution doesn't disappoint. Click past the jump for the fist 15 minutes of Top Gear China.

USA failed to copy top gearAustralia failed to copy top gearWhy the f*&k does China think they can make it work?? Make a Top Gear for your country thats fine, but be original, Seeing a chinese/Aus/USA version of Jeremy, James and Richard is just plain tachy, good recipe for disaster I think.

I like it better because they are not trying to relate to me by letting fat, old people drive nonchalantly, cars I would kill to drive. I really hate to see them drag their feet when driving, but trying so hard to be funny funny when reading their lines.

Except Tanner Foust, he is awesome and should totally stay in the show.

I'm actually kinda excited to see what kind of hilarious things they'll do with Chinese cars since we basically never get to know much about them. Personally I think it'd be hilarious to see the track time of a Geely up on the same board as a Porsche.
